I don't think that caring is only connected to being sick at all-however, when I was very much in my disease, I worried about losing the caring that came with being sick. Part of getting well was finding out that caring was not contingent upon being sick at all, and being very glad to have relationships that are based upon so much much more.

I never said that my recovery was complete. I've come a long way, and worked very hard to be able to call myself "in recovery"-however, I don't know if the journey will ever be over.
